Germany issued this stamp honoring Max Reger on May 2, 1991, the 75th anniversary of the composer's death. The stamp (Scott 1645) includes an image of the composer and a collection of organ pipes in the rear. I blogged the stamp itself here. I have seen this first day cover in several places, so I know it's fairly common. The cachet features the same image of Reger, plus some organ pipes. The background in this case though is manuscript writing for organ. I have several works by Reger but I don't know them well-enough to identify the piece of music shown. The postmark also includes pipes and some music notation. It's a nice three-in-one combination of stamp, cancel, and cachet.
